Stay in your F-in' Lane!!!

So I'm driving to work today (which I'm sure the special effects people on the Star Trek movie could use as research for what to make things look like when the inertial dampeners on the Enterprise go offline) and I had one of those moments where you just have had enough of something and you scream.

I know, I know...every expat here in Qatar (and probably most other GCC countries) gab constantly about the driving here. When you have those introspective moments, it's the topic of conversation about which you ask yourself, "Damn, is that all I can talk about?"

But it really does provide so much fodder. And you will get many more driving stories, so deal with it.

And today I had had enough...of people creeping across the lines in the road. Mind you, this isn't swerving, which would be annoying and dangerous in its own right. This is creeping. It's as if they've got one wheel out of alignment and they just can't hold the steering wheel tight enough to keep the vehicle from drifting off track.

Seeing as how these morons over here jump curbs like your granny's dog does your leg, I could totally see how their wheels could get jacked. (Side note: I wonder how always going through roundabouts counterclockwise affects your vehicle. Hmmmm?)

But you speed up to pass them (partly in a passive-aggressive attempt to suggest they stay in their lane) and what do you see? Well there's damn sure nobody in there white-knuckling a steering wheel with a "help me" look on their sweat-drenched face.

No, no...these nitwits are on their mobile phones - which is illegal, thank you very much!

So today I kinda flipped. I looked square at the gentleman today and screamed, "Stay in your fucking lane, you mouth-breathing redneck!!!"

He didn't see me but it made me feel better.
